Bolt shared a photo of his girlfriend Kasi Bennett in what looked like a maternity shoot.

Bennet on the day was dressed in a beautiful flowing red dress while flaunting her bulging baby bump.

In his caption, Bolt strongly hinted the couple was yet to know the gender of the baby, but was still excited to welcome their bundle of joy.

I just want to say a queen or king is about to be here,” he captioned the photo.

Bennett, who has been in a relationship with the Jamaican former sprinter for several years, shared similar photographs on her own Instagram page.

She also described the pregnancy as the couple’s “biggest blessing” and “greatest celebration”. “Our golden child. Coming soon…” Bennett said in one post.

The couple have kept their relationship fairly private, and are not often pictured together in public, but Bolt confirmed their romance in 2016.

The athletics star, who retired from running in 2017, is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Games.

He went on to pursue his dream to become a professional footballer, training with Norwegian club Stromsgodset and turning down a deal with Maltese club Valletta before joining Australian club Central Coast Mariners.

However, his A-League career lasted just eight weeks and in January 2019 he announced he was taking a step back from sport to focus on a business career.
